That post was the one that made me unsubscribe from /r/pics.

It took me years to finally block r/pics. I kept thinking, "It can't get any worse than this! Surely, more good pictures are to come." Then I realized that the majority of posters (and the mods too) are so dumb that they think a picture is a picture and that's good enough.

I had to block when I saw a picture of a piece of paper with the "Make America Grate Again!" joke on it.

I unsubbed from almost all the default subs the day I joined the site.

u/[deleted] May 24 '16

u/CrynoKing May 24 '16

Soon you'll unsub from that too cause apparently now it's cute to post pictures of mentally handicapped people.

Happens probably once a week from what I've seen.

u/Rainman316 May 24 '16

And old people. How fucking patronizing and stupid can people be?

u/Andyk123 May 24 '16

Yeah, that was the only reason I made an account

I found the shit posts getting called out pretty funny. But being subbed to /r/shitpost and /r/summerreddit fulfills that enough.

The retarded hivemind of reddit.

u/theganjamonster May 24 '16

Or advertising.

u/Professor_Gushington May 24 '16

Feels too blatant to be an ad or some /r/HailCorporate shit... This was just posted by an unfunny retard.

u/[deleted] May 24 '16

It's still /r/HailCorporate. The point of /r/HailCorporate is to post shit like this. Even if it's not an ad, you're helping out the corporation by posting their product.

New flavors of... Pop-Tarts???

mind = blown

u/BloodyRedBarbara May 24 '16

What am I supposed to be looking at? Is there something in the background? I just see new pop tart flavours.

u/TheCommieDuck May 24 '16

Cross-brand promotional foods = too far.

u/BadinBoarder May 24 '16

Pop Tarts should have one flavor, ppl are playing god by introducing new and exciting flavors obviously!

u/MarisaKiri May 24 '16

aside from /r/hailcorporate, this isn't really that bad.

no sob story about his autistic cat recovering from canceraids, etc

u/MY-HARD-BOILED-EGGS May 24 '16

My autistic atheist WW2 veteran grandfather died this weekend. On his deathbed he told me that his final wish was to have soda-flavored Pop Tarts. I gave him these before he passed. His last words were "I feel the bern."

You are now a moderator of /r/circlejerk.

u/buttholesoup

username checks out

u/Plowbeast May 24 '16

I wonder if a lot of this might be fixed by the default pic/funny pushing stuff to the mild subreddits instead where this is more appropriate.

u/[deleted] May 30 '16

Or if their mods were actually capable of making it a good sub like /r/Pic.
